I'm from the US. English is my primary language. However, I was in a Spanish immersion program for four years when I was in elementary school. I understand it better than I speak it now because I don't practice very often. I also took two years of Russian and four years of French in high school. And, I took two years of Japanese in college and was planning on getting my Bachelor's in Japanese until I decided to pursue other interests.

English is my mother tongue but I've taken six years of french plus lived in Quebec for a summer and Le Mans, France last school year. I'm actually a french (and european studies) major at uni. I've taken a couple semesters (one while in France) of Russian but probably sound silly when trying to speak it.

i've got english-lessons since 5 years...i've got latin since 3 years (but you can't talk in latin...except nomen est omen (your name says what you're like) or veni, vidi,vici ( i came, i saw, i won))i've been learning french for one yearand i'm visiting a spanish-group since two years

i feel like a freak...5 languages? i think there's a problem with my brain...a big problem!

Well I'm from Croatia, so my mother language is Croatian. I'm fluent in English and Italian....although I would love to learn new languages like German or Spanish! I can understand Spanish, but I can't speak it!

Spanish is my mother tongue but apart from it i speak english (and i think i do it fairly well). Other than that i can speak some of the dialects from Spain, like basque, galician and i understand catalan and italian (i guess it's because they're really similar to spanish)

My mother tongue is Italian but I can also speak English, a little French and a little Swedish. I have been studying Latin for 4 years, but it's not really a language, I think it's useless unless you wanna be a priest!
